SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER
Check the air cleaner dust cup and element before
each use. Clean the dust out of the cup and blow off
the element weekly. Replace the element after every
100 hours of operation.
NOTE: The air cleaner uses a dry element, never
apply oil.
• Unclip the two retainers to remove the cup and
wipe out any build-up of dust. See Figure 64.
Figure 64
• Remove the wingnut and carefully withdraw the
filter element from the housing. See Figure 64.
• To clean the element, use clean dry compressed
air on the inside of the element. Air pressure at
the nozzle must not exceed 29 PSI and the
nozzle must be held a reasonable distance from
the element.
• Remove the second wingnut and carefully
withdraw the secondary filter element from the
housing. Gently blow or brush any dirt from the
element. Refer to Figure 64.
• Using care not to damage the elements, insert
the new, or cleaned, elements into the housing
and secure each with a wingnut.
• Install the cup and secure with the two retainers.
IMPORTANT: The air cleaner will only fulfill its
function if correctly and regularly maintained. A poorly
maintained air cleaner will mean loss of power,
excessive fuel consumption and a reduction in engine
life.
DRAINING THE CLUTCH HOUSING
The clutch housing should be checked and, if
necessary, drained of any water after every 50 hours
of operation. The clutch housing should also be
checked if the tractor has been operated in inclement
weather or in wet fields with standing water, or has
been hosed off.
Remove the drain plug in the bottom of the clutch
housing to drain. If water is drained, allow the inside
of the clutch housing to dry. See Figure 65.
